Coal Seeds

I buried my heart today I stood beside the mound of earth I'd tirelessly dug away I don't think I dug deep enough So I dig a deeper grave So there my heart will lie Motionless, consumed with hurt Loaded with the tears I'd cried Now suppressed with fresh-dug dirt Not even worth a last goodbye How deep it lays, can't be measured Compacted into Earth's tenebrous core To suffocate beneath the pressure Perhaps becoming useful once more Coals will be diamonds, my heart will be precious 4th March 2013
